Greenburgh police respond to allegations of sexual harassment as town opens probe
Greenburgh
Supervisor Paul Feiner says the town is opening an independent investigation
into reported claims of misconduct in the police department.
Officer
Kristin Stein made a sexual harassment claim against her partner,
Office Jeff Cerone, in 2019.
Two
other officers have been suspended for allegedly threatening a female
officer and witness to not speak out about the allegations.
The department denies the allegations and says body
camera video of this incident and other incidents in the complaint
are mischaracterized.
Greenburgh officials say future incidents of
sexual harassment among employees will be reported to an outside panel to
ensure complaints are properly handled.
